Event Description

AI is transforming how consumers search, discover, and buy online, and retail brands that don’t adapt risk being left behind. With generative AI platforms like ChatGPT influencing purchase decisions and, in some categories, outperforming Google for conversions, the rules of SEO have changed. In this webinar, we’ll unpack the data behind the AI shift, explore how consumer behavior is evolving, and show you where eCommerce brands are most impacted.

We’ll go beyond the “why” and also equip you with the “how.” You’ll walk away with actionable tactics to future-proof your SEO, from structuring content to align with AI queries to ensuring your brand shows up in the right context. Our speakers will share a tactical SEO for AI checklist, highlight quick wins, and provide guidance on balancing AI efficiency with the human insight needed to stand out in an increasingly automated search world.

BWG Connect & Blue Wheel invite you to join an interactive event with industry peers to review & discuss practical insights across the digital space.

As always, there will be no sales pitch and all attendees are welcome to listen and learn.
